I made these today and they were fantastic and no syrup needed. I had Granny Smith apples so I cooked them down, made a crumble and that’s what we had on top. I think next time I’ll separate the eggs and whip up the whites and fold them in as I found this to be a dense, albeit, delicious batter. Love the lime and zest in these, they really shine. Thx
Good suggestion Tricia, glad you enjoyed this recipe 😉
I saw Pati make this on NPR they looked great
I want some now
Haha! Thanks Thomas 😉
Made these and they were absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend!
Thank you so much Gregory, so glad you liked these pancakes 😉
Pati thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful recipes. Your show is such a pleasure to watch, the recipes are so much fun to make and most certainly a huge pleasure to eat.
I made the recipe for these delicious pancakes and due to having unexpected visitors come over I used my leftover batter and baked it into a cake and it was so delicious and fluffy, next time I’ll add a mashed banana For the ultimate banana bread.
What a wonderful idea Marijana, thanks for sharing 😉
Do you know the calories per serving for this wonderful dish?
I don’t know for sure, maybe way too many….but you will not regret eating these pancakes!
Hola Pati Como esta espero que super bien. Le escrivo para darle Las gracias por sus recetas. Me anime a hacer los pancakes de Dulce de Leche. Y a mis hijas Les escanto. Por casualidad trendra otra recetas pero de pancakes con bananas. Saludos desde Ottumwa Iowa. USA
Estoy aprendiendo a cosinar por sus videos
Uy mil gracias, Sabino! No tengo una receta para pancakes con bananas…
Fantastic pancakes Pati! They are very flavorful and no need for maple syrup. Thank you for the yummy recipe 🙂
Thank YOU for giving them a try, Kathy.
My 4year old watched you make these last night.. at 3am!!! (Couldn’t sleep) He woke up this morning after finally falling to sleep screaming for these.. haha his dad made regular pannycakes (as he calls them). And nope not what Pati makes. He is now addicted to your show as I am too. We will be making these Sunday for sure 4 year old persistent and many more of your recipes. Thank you!!
Awww!! I’m sorry he couldn’t sleep…but I love this. I hope he loves the pancakes and give him a big hello from me.
Would this batter work for making waffles?
No it won’t work for waffles…but it makes great pancakes, Olga 😀.
Hi Pati what was the place in Tijuana that had really good hot dogs I forgot the name. Plus these pancakes look good thanks.
Oh that was at Humo at the Telefonica Gastro Park. And I hope you give the pancakes a try, Amber!
Hi Pati!
Just saw the Dulce de Leche pancake recipe and I would love to make them!! Yum!
However, I don’t believe I can find the Coronado dulce de leche in my neck of the woods… can I substitute with something else??? Thank you!!
You can use any Dulce de Leche you find in your local market’s International food aisle. Enjoy the pancakes, Bianca!
I just saw your show with the pancakes. Im making them this weekend for my wife and I. Love the Guadeloupe Valley tambien.
Hope you and your wife love them, Joe!
Hi Pati! I love your recipes! This looks delicious! I’m having trouble finding a bottle of Coronado’s topping that looks like the one you used in your video. They all look slightly different. Do you happen to have a link to where you purchase it?
Enjoy the pancakes!
Coronado® Dulce de Leche Caramel can also be found in the ice cream aisle in many stores
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Hola Pati,
My husband and I LOVE your show and enjoy your travels through Mexico that we never knew about. Thank for educating us
I came across this receipe this morning while looking for a flank steak receipe. I realized I had all the ingredients, especially ricotta love ricotta so I made it. OMG. Mmmm DELICIOUS!!!! We ate two each which we never do. This will be my go to for pancakes. Gracias
Wish you continue success with your show and many blessings.
Oh I’m so glad you found the recipe, Lilliana…and loved it!
La Cocina de Dona Esthela looks like a wonderful place. And I can’t wait to try your recipe for the pancakes. They look delicious!
Oh I had so much fun there! Enjoy the pancakes, Genie.
Hola Pati! What do you think about making this with whole wheat flour ? Any changes you would make?
Go for it, Jasmine. You can make them the same way with whole wheat flour.
Hi, Pati I love your show
I tried to make you dulcet de leche caramel ricotta pancakes but the batter came out thick. How can I make the batter thinner? Thank you
It is a thick batter, but you can add some milk to thin it out, Alma. Enjoy!
This is perhaps one of my new favorite sweet dishes in this show so far! I’ve always loved pancakes since I was a wee child, but my mom always made them out of a box. When it comes to my grandmother, however, she was the first to make them for me from scratch whenever we’d visit her down in San Salvador. And lo and behold, now being older, she told me her recipe and I’ve started making homemade pancakes myself, but experimenting a bit (By the way, you’re right about the baking soda! I tried that with the baking powder last time I made pancakes even before seeing this episode, and no wonder they had a better result!). But now, I think I’ll try making these for her and see what she thinks; I hope she loves them!
Oh I hope she loves them too, Carlos! Say hi to her for me.
We Love your show Pati, and are always excited to see where you go next especially since my family is from Mexico and we get to see when you visit where my family is from. Sometimes I take a picture and send it to my mom and tell her, “Pati’s in your town (Michoacán)!” 😄. My husband and kids have never been to Mexico so I share my experiences, past times, and how much I miss it and our family there.
We love your food and have recreated many of them. We enjoy just watching and listening to your stories also and when you add your children and family along your journey and cooking.
My husband is the main cook in our home and his favorite is Mexican food and always looks forward in making authentic Mexican food with my Mom.
My mom has a Mexican accent when she speaks English so it reminds my husband (who’s 0% Latino) and how he loveingly teases her. Accents rock and since our kids spoke mainly Spanish when they were really little they also had an accent.
Thank you Pati,
Con mucho amor
Oh thank YOU Diana! 💕
